When did you first find out you had PVNS? I had (have?) it in one of my knees. I've had surgery twice now to remove it. The first time it was pretty bad and the had to do an incision on the back of thanked. The second time they were able to do it arthroscopically. Havent noticed any issues sincere second surgery fortunately. Hoping they got it all and it won't come back again, but well see. Never had radiation for it.

It came back the first time(hence the second surgery), but I'm hopeful it won't come back again. Found out about it in the first place when I finally went to the doc cause my knee kept hurting for no discernable reason. Got lucky both times. The first time I was on my dad's military insurance still so the military paid to fly me down to get the surgery. Second time, had noticed my knee starting to swell up and hurt occasionally again after a couple of years. This time, my wife was working at an orthopedic doctors office, so I got the MRI (to see that it had indeed come back) and the surgery for free. Just had to pay for the OR and anesthesiologist basically (and had my own insurance to help there). The second surgery was several years ago and I haven't noticed any issues yet, so I'm hopeful, but I know the odds of ot coming back are high. I need to go get another MRI again soon probably to check up on it...

It's been a long (long) time since I read the icarus hunt, but I distinctly remember being a big fan of the green and the Grey. Always enjoyed triplet as well
